Leopard Print Yoke Color Block Boat Neck Knit Sweater
A knitted jumper with an animal-print yoke running across the shoulders, a plain body and contrasting sleeves, with ribbed cuffs and hem and a boat-shaped neckline.
Knitting a pattern in colour blocks is slow, so each colourway runs thin.
An animal-print yoke in a front room
A book group in somebody's front room is six people on two sofas with the lamps on and a plate going round, and everyone looking at whoever is talking. A yoke that runs across the shoulders sits above the back of a sofa, which is the one part of a jumper that stays in view for the whole evening.
The body under it is plain and the sleeves contrast, so the pattern is held at the shoulders and never takes over, and a boat-shaped neckline runs wide instead of closing at the throat. Somebody reaches over to feel a sleeve and finds the pattern knitted in rather than printed on, which is where the conversation leaves the book.
A pattern held at the shoulder goes further than one all over.
Colour blocks, not a printed pattern
The animal pattern across the yoke is knitted in colour blocks rather than printed onto the surface, so the colour goes right through the yarn. Below it the body is plain and the sleeves are worked in a contrasting colour.
The neckline is boat-shaped, wide across the collarbone, and the sleeves are long. Cuffs and hem are ribbed, which holds the knit in at the wrist and at the waist, and the hand finds the pattern as part of the knit rather than lying on top of it.

The four colourways on the yoke

Colour blocks come through thin
Knitting a pattern in blocks of colour means changing yarn inside the row, which is slow, so each colourway comes through thin. It is made for autumn and winter, so the run is seasonal, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take the colourway while it is still showing. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it on at home and send it back unworn and in its original condition.
